The Advance Health Care Directive is written instructions which communicate your wishes about the care and treatment you want if you reach a point where you can no longer make your own health care decisions. Under California law adult persons with decision making capabilities have the right to accept or refuse medical treatment or life-sustaining procedures. Artificial nutrition and hydration are among the medical procedures you have the right to accept or refuse.
